Manage VRChat refers to the various tools available for managing VRChat friends, worlds, avatars, groups, and other features outside of gameplay. In addition to the VRChat client and the VRChat website, third-party applications provide alternative interfaces for interacting with VRChat through the VRChat API. Third-party tools often extend or improve on features available in VRChat. Where a tool provides a notable quality-of-life enhancement over the built-in implementation, this is noted in the table below.
